I saw the snow settle
_____
Like a fresh wind can bring
_____
Hopes of a better year
_____
And silence spreads as I watch all the kids
_____
Who are waiting for their wishes to come true
_____
But I look at happiness with a startled eye
_____
And the heartache rose
_____
'Cause on my list for Santa I only wished
_____
That a lovely misfortune might hit you
_____
And for Christmas I'd like to cut the bottom of your stockings
_____
Let water freeze, make an ice rink at your place
_____
I'd like you to wait forever for me to call you
_____
Spend my time burning what's left of your candle
_____
A perfect Christmas for me
_____
It's misery for you
_____
The perfect Christmas for me
_____
I've always been told I've got quite a temper
_____
And that time always acts like the best bandage
_____
But we both know I'm not very patient
_____
I might've poured mulled wine over all your flowerbeds
_____
But I look at happiness with a startled eye
_____
And the heartache rose
_____
'Cause on my list for Santa I only wished
_____
That a lovely misfortune might hit you
_____
And for Christmas I'd like to cut the bottom of your stockings
_____
Let water freeze, make an ice rink at your place
_____
I'd like you to wait forever for me to call you
_____
Spend my time burning what's left of your candle
_____
A perfect Christmas for me
_____
The perfect Christmas for me
_____
A perfect Christmas for me
_____
It's misery for you
_____
A perfect Christmas for me
